Ride Rules

Velothon Sunshine Coast is a ride, not a race unless in a designated ‘Green Zone’

Cyclists must maintain a 22km/h average speed. If the tail vehicle travelling at this speed overtakes a cyclist, this cyclist is then unsupported until such time this cyclist catches the tail vehicle and re-joins the ride envelope

Cyclists are bound by Queensland Road Rules:

Ride as close as possible to the left side (or on the road shoulder) on a single lane road. Or, you may take up any position within the lane on a multi-lane road

Ride to the left of any oncoming vehicle

Not overtake another vehicle on the left if that vehicle is indicating and turning left

Not overtake another vehicle on the left if it is not safe

Not ride with more than 2 riders side by side unless you are overtaking another rider

Police and event organisers urge riders to adopt a single file approach where possible and give due consideration to other road users to avoid incidents

Cyclists will be given the opportunity to contest for Sprint Champion and King of the Mountain (KOM) sections at various points across the different stages. These are classified as ‘Green Zones’, the road will be closed, in the direction of ride, to vehicular traffic (other than Queensland Police and Event Personnel vehicles). All due care must still be taken by individual cyclists. Green Zones will be under race conditions.
